Kelly Clarkson’s latest cover just got the seal of approval from its original singer.
After Clarkson, 41, shared a powerful rendition ofKaty Perry’s 2012 smash hit “Wide Awake” forThe Kelly Clarkson Show’s Kellyoke segment earlier this week, Perry made sure to chime in.
“Ok dang I can never sing that again,” Perry, 39, hilariously commented on an Instagram post featuring a clip of Clarkson’s cover.
Several other famous pals commented in support of the rendition, including fellowAmerican IdolalumAdam Lambert. “❤❤❤❤❤❤,” Lambert commented.
Clarkson’s cover comes nearly 12 years after Perry first released the song, which peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Perry’s nod to Clarkson’s “Wide Awake” cover is far from the first time the two singers have shown each other love on social media. Clarksonpreviously congratulated Perryon the success of her song “Daisies” in 2020, telling her on X (formerly Twitter) that she looked “BEAUTIFUL” in its music video.
“Thank you, friend,” Perryresponded at the time.

Clarkson, who previously recorded the Perry-penned track “Long Shot” for her 2009 albumAll I Ever Wanted, is no stranger to covering her pal as part of Kellyoke too. In the past, she sang both “The One That Got Away” in 2023 and “Roar” in 2019 for the musical segment.
The multi-hyphenate released her officialKellyokeEP — featuring a few of her personal favorite renditions —back in June 2022, when she said in a press release that incorporating Kellyoke into her show is “the perfect way to kick off every episode.”
“Over 500 songs later, and we’re still not running out of amazing artists to pay tribute to,” she said at the time.
